Locality - Eaton Bank is a charming and peaceful hamlet situated just outside the highly sought-after village of Duffield, Derbyshire. Nestled in a picturesque rural setting, it offers a delightful blend of countryside tranquillity and convenient access to local amenities. Duffield itself is a vibrant village with a range of shops, cafés, traditional pubs, and excellent schools, including the renowned Ecclesbourne School. The area benefits from beautiful walking trails along the River Derwent and easy access to the stunning Peak District National Park. Despite its idyllic surroundings, Eaton Bank is well-connected, with Duffield’s railway station providing regular services to Derby and beyond, while major road links such as the A6 offer straightforward commuting routes. This combination of scenic beauty, village charm, and accessibility makes Eaton Bank a truly desirable place to call home.

Owner's perspective - "I moved to Duffield just over 5 years ago and have loved my time at Daisy Chain Cottage, becoming part of the community that has formed along the cul-de-sac. Although the area has a rural feel with some lovely walks right on the doorstep (namely up a bridle path that runs by the cottages) it has also been so convenient to get into Derby (in 10 minutes) as well as Belper. The train station in Duffield is also invaluable. I regularly walk into Duffield which has a number of shops, pubs and cafes, as well as Little Eaton. I’ve had a wood burner installed as well as fitting a new kitchen and decorating throughout making it into the cosy, inviting cottage it is now. Although I’m hesitant to move, I’m heading close to family."
